Surgeons who explore the interior of the human body and make cuts will be facilitated from now on thanks to a special helmet. The helmet on the head, by introducing the endoscope inside the body and using the visor, allows the surgeon to visualize the cavities in three dimensions. Ian is currently performing in three dimensions, but the images are seen in two dimensions.

Consequently, operations are carried out by measuring the approximate depth. Through the endoscope, light is inserted into the patient's interior and, subsequently, the images of the cavity are reflected on the monitor through the optical fiber. These images are two-dimensional, but the new method allows to obtain an image for the left-right eyes and project it on the screens, interpreting the surgeon as a three-dimensional image.
